It’s not showing up on FlightAware for some reason, but UPS99 definitely did depart already.

There are more planes than we think. They aren't all showing until they actually leave

I see some ZZ people with departure scans this morning, but any 9/17 2:10am arrivals (like me) still hanging out there?

Me unfortunately

LOVE the iphones naked but I cannot trust myself. I'm usually ok if its in my pocket or my purse but when it comes to weddings and other parties....I cant promise that the phone will make it out alive lol

Hahaha, I leave it up to the most high Steve Jobs to protect my phone when it is naked and in the real world. I've only broken 1 screen in my Apple life, so I feel pretty good.

 

[super80e]

At least it’s no in Shenzen where it started like mine

Anyone have an On Hold status NOT in Incheon?

 

[karabrooke1016]

Arrived 9/19 7:59 in Incheon and no departure yet

Same here, but I got an email from apple this morning saying my order shipped lol

The import scan on devices as it gets closer to launch day will be quicker. I’ve had packages arrive very late after 1 am, scan thru customs, and make it in time for deliveries the next day.

I give credit to Apple and UPS for their coodinated logistics. I suspect things like not showing ‘shipped’ are deliberate - maybe because of the deliberate transport staging in Hong Kong, Korea, ... maybe because of the other triggers like IUP return packaging.

Yes I expect that also. Given my sideline (I am geologist) of doing apple It for about 10 years after retirement I know servers (especially non apple ones we also were using) can be pretty wonky at times. Given I just got a notice my package arrives at house from UPS directly in text and email just now, makes me think package arrived in UPS63 last night (11:40 PM CDT, 12:40 EDT) and likely has made the 3.5 hour journey from Louisville already to my town in east central Illinois. Will be interesting to see the final data when the tracking updates

Your phone is still in Kentucky and won’t leave until tonight. Tonight is when updates should be instant..

Import scan @ 8:42 AM

 

[ArcticBlue00]

Seems like all the "shipment on hold" iPhones are XS Max. Is there anyone who got a shipment on hold message with a regular XS?

 

[Serpenthawk]

Departure!

 

[rjruiz2]

Wow this thread is flying now, much faster than it was previous few days.

 

[phillavelle]

There are no issues it's just a system error

Hope so. Mine says the same (I changed to CC hold on the ups site the other day). Phone still in Incheon. Due to be collected at the cc in 24 hours

 

[iApplereviews]

Departure!

What time was the scan

 

[dankcook]

I’m still in Incheon. No departure scan yet with an On Hold status.

My iPhone XS Max is having a jolly good time in Incheon Korea because it’s been there forever. Lol

Is 99 leaving from Incheon now?

[rjjacobson]

Where in Illinois? I’m from Kewanee.

Urbana just down the road....

 

[spark plugs.]

Incheon, Korea, Republic of 09/18/2018 8:10 P.M

still no departure

 

[jessebkr87]

Urbana just down the road....

Nice. Lived in Champaign before joining the military.

In iPhone news, hopefully I get a Korea departure soon!

 

[Deguello]

Why is my phone still in Incheon? With my phone in a foreign country halfway around the globe, less than 34 hours to deliver to Washington DC by 7pm 9/21, and an email warning that shipping is on hold, should I be concerned?

No.

 

[dcrumbaugh]

Aright, I'm all in now, I too am trying to be a UPS shipping manager.

I looked into the past couple days of UPS flights leaving Louisville for buffalo. That flight leaves at 3:53AM. So I'm going to say that my phone needs to be in Louisville by 3am to make that flight. Thats 18 hours from now, they have plenty of time to get our phones where they need to be.

Am in Buffalo myself. This matches tracking for my case which flew in overnight last night/this morning. And my past launch day experiences too. It’ll be at Bailey CC by 7AM tomorrow.

 

[pogiboi]

I’m still in Incheon. No departure scan yet with an On Hold status.

Where do you see this on hold status? I’m stuck in icheon but not sure where to look for on hold.
